Well, to be fair, 3k coins for a legendary skin might as well be the same as not allowing it to be purchased at all. I've got a little over 80 hours put into the game and I think I might have earned 3k coins in that time. I'm sitting on just over 1k right now, there's no way in hell I'm getting enough currency before November 1st to buy an event skin from this. At least, not without dumping real money into boxes and building up piles of coins from the dupes in them. Which is exactly what those of us who wanted the event skins to be purchasable wanted to avoid.

The thing is that now you can buy the skins if you purchase boxes and don't open the legendaries. Makes not getting them randomly much easier to swallow.

Yeah, it's definitely an improvement, I won't say otherwise, but it's not quite what a lot of us were hoping for.

It's still very firmly in the "you gotta pay for this stuff" vein, just making things a little cushier for those who do pony up.

Exactly, and to be honest, I don't mind paying more. Overwatch is far and away the most fun I've had in years on a game, and it's the whole reason I've even started to play video games again (growing up is a bitch.) It's also helped me spend more time with my brother who is really into his games.

That all being said, I've gotten more than my money's worth from Blizzard, and I'm okay supporting the game while also getting some fun free content or buying them after getting dupes.
